Uh oh, looks like it's apology time once again:
My apologies to any of you who attended the Hanson show at Avalon last night. I heard that the chants of "We Want Scamper! (Clap clap clap-clap-clap)" were so overwhelming that they drowned out the music and ruined the show for everyone. I also understand that the riot police had to be called in to quell an ideological pro-Scamper uprising that was threatening to consume the entire Fenway area. It got so bad that during "Where's the Love?" a single adorable tear wound its way down Zach Hanson's well-structured cheekbone. And for this, we humbly apologize.
Apologies also go to our new friends over on the OK Go! message boards who may have been offended by some of my comments in my post-show wrap-up. I certainly didn't mean to make an unflattering comparison between OK Go! and Hanson, two bands that I happen to really like (for real). What I meant to say was this: please buy our album, t-shirts and new Scamper brand dishwasher detergent (now 45% more power-poppier!). Thank you for your support.
Finally, my most heartfelt apologies go out to the poor souls who were traumatized by my butchering of Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity" at karaoke last night. I swear I thought I knew the lyrics to that song.
Ahhh. That feels good. Anyone else have any apologies to offer? Let's get it all out there, people.

I apologize for Brendo thinking the Hanson show was last night.
Shit, it's tonight, isn't it?
Well, I have a time machine and all that shit happened.
Number of times I've heard that song, and I swear I still thought 'Virtual Insanity' consisted of nothing more than dancing, the chorus, dancing, and then a bunch of Ooowowowoeee's, and then more dancing. And a hat. A big hat.
BTW, Bill Withers' grandkids are suing me for making fun of African-American music. I tried to explain I just suck, but the process server was having none of it...
Vinny, I personally thought you hit the Bill Withers out of the park, but then again, I'm a sucker for a blue-eyed crooner such as yourself.
All right, all right, I apologize.
I'm really really sorry, I apologize unreservedly.
I do, I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.
Wanda?
as a witness to the virtual insanity performance, i must say that it was wonderful and might have been ruined had you actually known all of the words.
Brendan- you don't need to apologise for the OK Go boards thing. It's cool. I still think y'all are great no matter what.
Also, Nate, I reread that bit on Brendan's post about 90-second sound checks, and now it makes total sense. Somehow I substituted "Keith" with "Damian." Haven't a clue how that happened. *still feels silly*
